Album Notes Personnel: Elton John (vocals, piano, organ, Mellotron); Davey Johnstone (vocals, guitars, slide guitar, synthesizer, background vocals); Nigel Olsson (tamboura, drums, congas, background vocals); David Katz (violin); Leroy Gomez (saxophone); David Hentschel (keyboards, synthesizer); Dee Murray (electric bass, background vocals); Ray Cooper (tambourine, percussion); Kiki Dee (background vocals). Generally regarded as Elton John's masterpiece, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD is a double-album (on one CD) that includes several of his signature songs alongside a sprawling array of lesser-known (but by no means lesser) tunes. The hits included "Bennie And The Jets," a funky, falsetto stomper; the Rolling Stonesy rocker "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting"; and the gorgeous title ballad. "Candle In The Wind," an elegy for Marilyn Monroe, which didn't become a certified hit until 14 years later, when John re-recorded it with the Melbourne Symphony. The fact that it wasn't released as a single at the time is testimony to the wealth of pop pleasures available here. The swelling, synth-fueled overture of "Funeral For A Friend" gives way to one of John's toughest guitar-rockers in an 11-minute medley. "Grey Seal" is a piano showcase with a perfect verse-chorus-verse construction. The rocking "All The Girls Love Alice" is one of the era's most overt references to lesbianism, and "Harmony," the soft ballad that closes the album, may be John's grandest melody. Willfully eclectic and packed with great music, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD bursts with the bold energy and undeniable talent that made John a superstar.

Report this review Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadReview created: 02/21/08 by: Elton and Bernie Taupin at their artistic peak. If you have a chance purchase the LP for the art and liner notes. You won't be disapointed!!! I felt Elton lost his edge after this album and began to succumb to the pressures of "writing the next hit". You decide!!!

Report this review Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - is there more?Review created: 04/05/07 by: If you lived in the era in which this album was released - you'll like/love it. Many popular songs will bring back those nastalgic feelings of youthful days and perhaps a less complicated life. Sure to put a smile on your face.
